Oh yes I totally forgot that. Just checked your thread on the car and realised.

Most thirdgens I see have a straight U.S. style plate I have never seen a curved one. Is there a plate bracket on the car?

Ok,

I can't find a photo of one at the moment but there should be a bracket which allows the mounting of a straight license plate. I'm sure a thirdgen owner will be able to post a picture! I'll keep looking in the mean time.

No, but easy enough to buy from Halfrauds or any DIY shop
